Healthy Weight Range Calculator
Convert adult BMI screening boundaries into a weight range for the height you enter. This gives a population-level reference, not a diagnosis, target prescription, or measure of body composition.
Adult screening reference only. BMI does not diagnose health or directly measure body fat and may not fit children, pregnancy, older adults, athletes, or every ethnic population. Do not use this result to start restrictive dieting or treatment without qualified medical advice.

How this estimate works
- Height is converted from centimeters to meters and squared.
- The lower reference weight equals 18.5 multiplied by height squared; the upper displayed reference equals 24.9 multiplied by height squared.
- The range reflects standard adult BMI screening categories and says nothing about an individual's muscle mass, health history, or appropriate goal.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a goal-weight recommendation?
No. It only converts standard adult BMI screening boundaries into weights for the entered height.
Can children use this range?
No. Children and teenagers require age- and sex-specific growth references rather than adult BMI thresholds.
